To determine the relationship between empathy and emotional intelligence among Iranian nursing students.
This is a cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational study that was conducted on three hundred and twenty eligible students, selected using stratified random sampling. Participants were mainly nursing students at Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Data gathering was done using The Jefferson Scale of Empathy and The Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test. Data were analyzed using SPSS.
The results showed a strong positive correlation between empathy and emotional intelligence (r=0.499, p <.001). Students in their fourth year had the highest score for empathy (M=109.16, SD=10.16), while first-year students had the highest scores for emotional intelligence (M= 151.68, SD= 17.47). Female students got higher empathy scores than male students (t= 2.524, p= .012). Age had a strong inverse correlation with emotional intelligence (r= 0.143, p= .010).
The results of this study show a correlation between emotional intelligence and empathy among nursing students. Nurses with higher emotional intelligence tend to be better in establishing productive relationships with patients and their families, and if nurses possess empathetic skills, they manage their emotions more effectively. In addition to imparting knowledge and clinical experience, nursing curricula should provide students with opportunities to develop their communication and emotional skills.
确定伊朗护理专业学生的同理心与情商之间的关系。
这是一项横断面描述性相关性研究，对320名符合条件的学生进行了研究，采用分层随机抽样法选取。参与者主要是德黑兰医科大学的护理专业学生。使用杰斐逊同理心量表和舒特自我报告情商测试进行数据收集。数据使用SPSS进行分析。
结果显示同理心与情商之间存在强正相关（r=0.499，p<.001）。四年级学生的同理心得分最高（M=109.16，标准差=10.16），而一年级学生的情商得分最高（M=151.68，标准差=17.4）。女生的同理心得分高于男生（t=2.524，p=.012）。年龄与情商呈强负相关（r=0.143，p=.010）。
本研究结果表明护理专业学生的情商与同理心之间存在相关性。情商较高的护士在与患者及其家属建立有效关系方面往往表现更好，而且如果护士具备同理心技能，他们能更有效地管理自己的情绪。除了传授知识和临床经验外，护理课程还应给学生提供培养沟通和情感技能的机会。
